Avantages

Some interesting clients and projects. The companies they purchased had some really talented people, and worked with a wide range of Microsoft technologies. Remote work generally an option and work/life balance has been OK in my team at least.

Inconvénients

Inconsistent, usually non-existent communication from management on all fronts - about big or small issues. Feedback from employees, even on heavily pushed staff surveys, is not even acknowledged, never mind acted on. Decision making from owners around hiring, internal changes, and redundancies is clearly focused on short term financial gains at the expense of long term stability and success. Generally it's been absolute chaos throughout the organisation for a few years, since they purchased several other companies - they tried to do too much too fast, didn't understand the companies they were buying, and it has come at the expense of any semblance of culture or control over the situation, with the loss of a lot of talented staff along the way. Constant changes to the company org chart, with senior leaders frequently leaving or rotating through roles. Pay has been low and stagnant for almost 3 years, with below inflation pay rises. Benefits are the bare minimum, bordering on negligible. Senior management seem to be kept out of the loop on key decisions made by the company's owners, so a lot of "decisions" seem to be last minute, poorly communicated, or not thought through. Very little trust across the organisation - both in terms of management not treating employees like professionals and adults, and in terms of employees not being able to trust management, or even that their job is secure.

Avantages

- Boots-on-the-ground staff are absolutely fantastic, with a real sense of camaraderie amongst engineers & support staff. - Good day-to-day perks (free tea/coffee & other amenities). - A strong sense of general appreciation on an engineer level from customers, with customers sometimes feeling like colleagues. - Fairly flexible working location once trust has been established. - Line managers listen to concerns around the business structure (and try their best to action things).

Inconvénients

- Far too much focus on new business, to the detriment of maintaining existing contracts. This is the company's biggest downfall. Once business is in, they don't seem to care about keeping it. - Unrealistic delivery timelines to customers. The consulting team works to the best of their capacity, but can only deliver quick solutions that have key elements (i.e., access for engineers to troubleshoot issues) missing or misconfigured, due to them being incredibly busy. - The company over-promises to customers, then leaves reactive support teams to deliver on those promises - no matter how unrealistic the request. - Issues that are raised almost never make it far up the chain, and do not get actioned. - Teams are designed to be in direct competition with each other - leading to a non-collaborative & toxic working environment. - Everything is left to the reactive teams to sort, with the attitude being 'Just sort it for the customer'. - No time is allocated for training, yet solutions introduce new technologies that teams are expected to support. - Promises of career advancement are false, with promotions only going to those favoured ('jobs for the boys'). - The job title means very little - with 2nd-line engineers being involved with projects & consulting-level requests. - As a result of the above point, pay is far below that at which is expected for work being carried-out.
